Legislature back from break

Feb 20, 2007 Posted by Bill Luckett
The Legislature has returned after a three-day President's Day weekend for the final two weeks of the 2007 general session. Among the hot topics this week will be wolves and same-sex marriages, according to this Casper Star-Tribune story. For more on the wolf issue, click here.
Also this week, the House speaker and Senate president will each appoint five members of the joint conference committee on the supplemental budget bill. They will try to reach a compromise between the two versions of the bill. Then, each chamber will then have to sign off on the compromise version before the bill heads to Gov. Freudenthal.
Meanwhile, here's a story on this year's class of freshman legislators, a class characterized in part by its members' eagerness to participate in debates.

Mar 3, 2007 | Michael Shay | michaelshay@hummingbirdminds.comIt was a travesty to spend any amount of time on this bill. Fortunately, it died, to be resurrected next session by the fundies in the Legislature. In his editorial this morning in the Wyoming Tribune-Eagle, editor Reed Eckhardt had this to say: "...a lot of time and energy were spent on fundamentalist Christian wheel-spinning on cultural matters that meant nothing for the state's future."

Feb 20, 2007 | Michael Shay | michaelshay@hummingbirdminds.comHow many more hours will the Legislature waste on this idiotic same-sex marriage bill? I do admire these eager newcomers to the Legislature, and their tendency toward debate, but some proposals deserve to die an early death. The same-sex marriage bill is an embarrassment to the state.
